This is The Usenet: Basic Usenet and News Facts

These link is posted with intention to facilitate for people that wants 
the real Usenet, sometimes called News experience and avoid the Goog 
interface.

Some basic primers:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet_newsgroup>

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Usenet_newsreaders>

I would recommend the free Thunderbird for inexperienced users:

You should post this outside of Usenet ;-)

I have! Sort of...

<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.photo.digital/JP4d0jERmTo>

I fear that that's the way most folks have accessed the Usenet the last 
decade plus... Maybe they did not know better. But now they do! :-))

#37693 — Updated: This is The Usenet: Basic Usenet and News Facts

So I have updated the primer and comments are welcome. I have also put 
it on my blog and a shortlink is available: <http://wp.me/P3strj-6h>

*****************************************************
This is The Usenet: Basic Usenet and News Facts

These link is posted with intention to facilitate for people that wants 
the real Usenet, sometimes called News experience and avoid the Google 
web interface.

Some basic primers:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet_newsgroup>

Here you can find some software:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Usenet_newsreaders>

I would recommend the free Thunderbird client for inexperienced users:

<https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Thunderbird/ct-p/Thunderbird>

Hook yourself up! Here are some free and premium NNTP/Usenet servers:

<http://www.freeusenetnews.com/>

<https://usenetreviewz.com/free-usenet/usenet-access/>

This free server seem to function consistently:

<http://news.aioe.org/>

Note that free servers are paid by someone and that you might not know 
their reasons for doing that.

Remember to be civil! The basic Netiquette for the Usenet is rather 
simple:

Post as your parents, children, spouse,  minister or employer can read 
it without you being embarrassed or suedŠ

Read the charters if in doubt what¹s apropriate for a certain group:

<http://www.harley.com/usenet/usenet-tutorial/newsgroup-charters.html>

There are, of course more elaborate opinions on the subject but beyond 
law and charters for different groups those are subject for debate. You 
can find some of them here though:

<https://duckduckgo.com/?q=usenet+netiquette&ia=web>

Feel free to repost or bump this to any text group under any name but 
mine as long as it¹s not alteredŠ

Shouldn't this be marked OT for the groups posted to?

Surely, just 'Usenet' not 'The Usenet'?

> Shouldn't this be marked OT for the groups posted to?

And why not posted to news.newusers.questions where it's 'on topic'?
(Even though most newbies won't know that group exists).  There used to
be a web site associated with that group, but it seems to have gone.
The wayback machine has archived it though:

Our Anonymous Austrian Remailer was probably not even born when these

Welcome to kill files all over the world.  You'll like there, it's dark
and warm.  You can play with yourself for hours.
